ADHD medication in men

Has anyone (preferably male) been diagnosed with adhd as a child, taken medication but stopped in adulthood. Then restarted? Basically my partner has a bad temper and wondering if adhd medication would support him in controlling his temper if his condition was under control?

Could make the temper worse whilst tying to find correct agent and dose but worth a try

ADHD can affect emotional regulation and impulse control, which may contribute to irritability and frustration. A specialist assessment could help determine whether restarting medication or exploring other support strategies would be appropriate.

Is it your DP looking to change things for himself? If yes, than absolutely, he should try.

If this is you looking for ways to manage his anger - turn away, walk and don't look back.
